TruSeq Stranded Total RNA provides a clear view of the transcriptome with a streamlined, cost-efficient, and scalable solution for total RNA analysis with sequencing.
Compatible with a wide range of samples, including low-quality DNA/RNA and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, TruSeq Stranded Total RNA couples all of the benefits of TruSeq RNA technology with Ribo-Zero ribosomal RNA reduction chemistry. The product enables analysis of coding and multiple forms of noncoding RNA with precise measurement of strand orientation, uniform coverage, and high-confidence discovery of features such as alternative transcripts, gene fusions, and allele-specific expression.
TruSeq Stranded Total RNA is designed for human, mouse and rat sequences, but may be applicable to a variety of eukaryotic species.
TruSeq Stranded Total RNA is available in multiple versions to fit specific study design needs:
| Instrument | Recommended Number of Samples | Read Length |

The products previously known as TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Human/Mouse/Rat (Cat. No. RS-122-2201, RS-122-2202, and RS-122-2203) and TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold (Cat. No. RS-122-2301, RS-122-2302, and RS-122-2303) are now called TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Human/Mouse/Rat and TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Gold, respectively. The product configuration has changed. In the new configuration, the library preparation reagents and index adapters can be purchased separately. The list of components available for individual purchase can be found in the “Select Product(s)” section.
